Oven knob question

Post by sloop_john_b »

I bought a set of new ones from Mike Parks, yet none of the wrenches I have seem to be able to tighten them. What size allen wrench do I need to tighten them up?

Hey John, I unfortunately don't know the answer to your question. Someone here will surely be able to. Leftybass will know for sure. Can you do me a favor? Tell me what the underside of the knob reads please. I'm assuming Rogan Bros. Skokie Ill. Thanks

Thanks Ron - the underside of the knobs indeed say what you assumed they would.

LOL, I have the wrench but I don't know what size it is!!! FWIW I think it's the same one that adjusts bridge height, but I could be wrong...

This is an American wrench, so any metrics will not fit.

I believe it is 3/64".

The bridge height wrench is bigger.
